    Do you really want Iran to have nukes though?

    Just because Israel are horrible, doesn’t automatically make the people they’re fighting the good guys.

      Honestly no but if I lived in a country or bloc without nukes myself I’d want my government to get them because its the only way to not get randomly regime changed whenever the US, UK or Russia feels like it. Totally understandable why they would want them.

      Iran has the right to defend themselves. Without nukes, they’re going to end up like Iraq, Libya, or the countless other countries that Israel and the US felt like destroying. They’re champing at the bit to smash Iran to pieces and it’s not going to stop at limiting nuclear capabilities.

      Hasn’t Iran a religious edict stating they cannot build or use nukes? We could be in a iraki WMD phase again (expecting Powell’s jar to appear any moment now).

      Most definitely. I want every country on Earth to have their own nuclear weapons. It’s the ultimate deterrent.

      Funny how liberals never say this about Ukraine and Russia. It’s only when non-whites fight back that they start bloviating about “both sides bad”

        Funny how tankies always think “the enemy of my enemy is my friend”. They have no capacity for nuance.

        “non-whites fight back” is an interesting way to describe the fucked up, nuke happy, Ayatollah regime that’s plaguing Iran.

        To be thinking that Iranians aren’t good enough to deserve human rights and democracy because they aren’t western/white sounds racist.

          The human right of being carpet bombed by a genocidal ethnostate…

          Don’t worry, I understand that - while it may seems to be an analogous situation on the surface - Ukraine a White country and Iran is not, and to Western liberals, that makes all the difference in the world.

            Ukraine a White country and Iran is not

            And yet Iran is literally where the “Aryians” originated who were idolized by Hitler.

            , and to Western liberals, that makes all the difference in the world.

            Here is the actual thing that makes all the difference in the world. It would be racist to think that Iranians don’t deserve human rights and freedom, which implies they aren’t as good as people in the west.

            Russia, Iran - dictatorships.

            Ukraine - democracy

            Israel - democracy (but moving away)

              The fact that you consider Israel a democracy when it denies millions of its subjects, not just the right to vote, but all rights at all, further demonstrates that you’re just a white supremacist.
